What about wget? Then next step is the application and I’m mostly out of ideas.

Pop into the console and try pinging or dig google/etc. Might just be something simple like lack of dns server.

I’m doing slaac and some reservations for devices that just randomly pop new MACs (vms or something, I don’t remember why.

I use aliases for my firewall rules. DNS I don’t really have working.

I had to get a NAS with moderate horsepower (a mobile i5 chipset). It’s not worth on power consumption or noise. Usually there’s not a lot you can do about noise. But free is free.

Three transmissions worth of reverse gear… to be 18 again and not care.

No no. It’s the m52 in bmw.

The valve would fail catastrophically and basically siphon oil into the engine. It’s a questionably complicated German design of course. It was particularly vulnerable to freezing, which happens if the engine wasn’t run long enough to boil off all condensation.

It got close for me once. The only time it left me stranded. Stopped at a light. Pulled away. Bam, thick black smoke and the engine stalled. I’d replaced it about 45000 km before and most trips were 70km but I guess it was too much.

I ran my mk3 golf without coolant for a summer. I abused that poor thing so much.

That’s one thing that will do it. There’s a couple people who have hydro locked with bad oil separators.

That’s your problem, they’re designed for people who want to waste time on their lawn and drink a beer. People who want to get it done with have zero turn mowers.

Sodium silicate in the oil. Bleach in the gas. An iron spike driven into the ground just below the height of the grass.

But really the best way to deal with it is to get over it. I know sometimes it’s hard to get over an irritating sound, but it helps your mental health if you don’t get angry about something minor and entirely outside your control

At least the two of those three are most certainly not buy once items and the shoes of Theseus might also not qualify.

Having assembled a plastic shed, I think it might be easier to build from scratch!

It should be a steady stable temperature in that range. Not much higher, not much lower

Temperature control during cellaring is important. Wild swings aren’t great. I wouldn’t buy wine that’s been stored hot if I can help it. The temperature is generally less of an issue than the changes in temp from what I understand, but the temperature should be in a range between roughly 8-18 degrees from what I recall.

Except the Panasonics with inverters, apparently.

Heat pumps work just fine to about -10° and cold climate air to air heat pumps go comfortably to -30, and most maintain >100% efficiency to about -20.

If you don’t live in a hot climate, many heat pump water heaters take heat from indoor air. Be aware of that - you’re heating air, then moving that heat into the water tank. It really drops efficiency. But they’re almost certainly a lot cheaper to run long term than paying for oil deliveries! They’re not necessarily cheaper than gas, because gas is just so cheap. I’d be wary of replacing a working system, because it’s probably not going to break even, but check for incentives that might help with the cost.

If you make the investment, a water softener could be a good investment. Draining/flushing and maintaining the anode rod is a big factor in longevity.

Tankless is ok, but it burns oil or you need pretty serious electric service. One downside is that the hot water piping doesn’t get the heat transfer from the tank of hot water so the whole pipe length cools fairly rapidly; 1hr between showers and you need to run the tap for a while.

I believe that a heat pump boiler should have backup electric heating elements that kick in when there’s high demand or if it is too cold for the heat pump to keep up.

I’ve always thought that a 60 passenger bus with 2 people on it is never going to be as efficient as a car with 2 people. Probably closer to 2 cars with 1 each. And that’s a strikingly common situation in North America because they won’t buy a smaller bus and electric busses are still a dangerous concept for so many transit managers.

I just can’t see it ending with the millions of dollars per violation, because that’s going to add up to a number Meta will fight. So it might go well for the rest of us.
